Notebook: Fire Everyone in the KU Athletics Administration

Matt Baty, who is the associate athletics director in charge of fundraising for Kansas Athletics (aka the Williams Fund), is blaming the fans, supporters, and donors instead of the administration taking responsibility for bad coaching hires. He says the fan base is the main problem with Kansas football because (heaven forbid) they demand wins, and that if KU would only keep a coach for more than three years things would be better.

Because apparently firing incompetent coaches is the problem, not hiring them in the first place. As if David Beaty is going to turn into Urban Meyer if we give him two more years. Criminy.

The stupidity and incompetence of the leadership in this athletic department is staggering. Fire everyone.

Kansas safety Mike Lee, one of KU’s most outspoken trash-talkers, is enjoying playing with former teammate Corione Harris again.

May the Fourth be with you.
